Subject: bug#757: netboot installation fails at "Download installer components": "No kernel modules found"

From: Dennis Camera <[email-masked]>

Package: debian-installer
Severity: grave

Dear maintainer,

Bug #681 is back.

When I try to install from
http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/dists/stable/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/netboot/
I get this error message in the "Download installer components" step:

> No kernel modules found
>
> No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch
> between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the
> kernel version available in the archive.
>
> You should make sure that your installation image is up-to-date, or -
> if that's the case - try a different mirror, preferably
> deb.devuan.org.

The log reports:
> May  6 12:27:13 anna[2345]: WARNING **: no packages matching running
> kernel 5.10.0-18-powerpc64le in archive

In case it matters, I selected deb.devuan.org from the archive mirror
list.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Dennis

Dennis,

Thanks. Yes the chimaera version needs updating after the recent Debian point
release changed the kernel ABI.
